Provide capability to run ssh service when in restricted state

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

ssh is required to support automation of the system via Ansible. If the system is ended to a restricted state to perform certain operations (e.g. system save) automation cannot be used to control or manage the operation. Similarly, if the system is started in a restricted state for a migration or software upgrade, any required operations cannot be performed via Ansible automation until the system and tcp is manually started. Providing a lower level access point for ssh would allow for the system to be more effectively managed by Ansible automation tools.

    The CAAC has reviewed this IBM Idea and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority Idea that should be addressed.

    We see this as a good long term enhancement to IBM i integrating with product like Ansible from RedHat. And we think should be start to work on.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual IBM Ideas on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your Idea.
